The first time Steve Wesner saw a holiday lighting display in downtown Fort Wayne, he was just a boy standing among a crowd of thousands outside the Wolf & Dessauer department store. Each year, a winter wonderland took over the storefront, a magical, moving spectacle depicting everything good about the Christmas season. People traveled from all over the region to see its big reveal. “It was just extremely fascinating and the crowd would be heavy. You had to wait and work your way up to the front of the line to get up to the windows. People would be standing there as deep as the sidewalk was wide,� Wesner recalled. Years later, he would stand waiting in similar lines as his own children marveled at the sight. Wolf & Dessauer’s display was a first-rate means to attract shoppers and lure them through its doors. But nothing lasts forever — eventually the lavish window displays were discontinued after the retailer was purchased by L.S. Ayers. For many, those department store windows are thought of as a beloved childhood memory. But over the past several years, a sort of revival has taken place to restore the tradition so a new generation can make similar memories in Fort Wayne.

The holiday season is approaching and the Monroeville Chamber of Commerce and area businesses are ready to get area residents in the spirit with its 2012 Holiday Magic event, set for Saturday, Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. downtown. Shawn Norris, secretary for the chamber, said the event is in its fifth year. Started in 2008, Holiday Magic originally started with Santa and Mrs. Claus handing out cookies downtown. It has grown each year, Norris said. “It started as a way to get people into town to support local business owners,� Norris said. “It has slowly evolved from there.� Since its inception, Holiday Magic has added caroling sung by area church members, a craft show with more than 20

former department store tradition. “We are of that era. We’re old enough to remember Wolf & Dessauer’s windows,� James said. Since most Festival of Trees guests used street or garage parking off Harrison, they walked right by the old Indiana Hotel on their way to Embassy Theatre. James saw an opportunity. “There was nothing that would make you

want to come to those windows. So I just said, let me do this ‌ What I was thinking, I don’t know,â€? she said, laughing. Since then, she and her husband, David, have brought the windows to life, revealing them to the public each year during the Night of Lights. The event draws thousands to downtown Fort Wayne to watch various lighting displays turn on for the holiday season, including the former Wolf & Dessauer Santa and his reindeer, and Merry Christmas wreath displays. The James’ window designs were first inspired by a storybook Christmas tree at the Embassy’s Festival of Trees. “Our windows are a story line,â€? David said. “When you go to the big cities, each window is a story in itself. But this is like reading a chapter book. Each window tells you a little piece of that story.â€? Kathy and David have worked with local sculptor and illustrator Don Johnson to create “Oscarâ€? the elf, a character who appears each year in the story line. Johnson illustrates the story and meticulously sculpts the characters before animator Dennis Baker works to mechanize their movements. Kathy describes Johnson as a perfectionist, something she thinks stems from his previous work as a pattern maker. “I always tell him, ‘Don, you’re too -iiĂŠWINDOW, ÂŤ>}iĂŠ £Ç

What hurts worse than getting a hip replacement?

6HH ZZZ HGJHUWRQVWUDYHO FRP

Not getting an anterior hip replacement at FWO.

Fort Wayne Orthopedics performs hip procedures using the “Anterior Hip Approach� 90% of the time. What does that mean to you? It means that you will be up and around the same day with less post-operative pain. Most of our patients say that they have less pain going home than they did when they came in. If therapy is needed, it can be done at home. And best of all, you can go back to your normal daily routine – and the things you love to do – without restrictions.

Cooking is one of those things that makes me feel at home again. Growing up, it was what we did as a family back when family dinners weren’t altogether uncommon. My mother could effortlessly drum up a delicious dinner for four, all while singing and dancing to a good song on the radio. When my husband isn’t there to catch me in the act, I find myself doing the same thing in my own kitchen. (Thanks, Mom.) While I didn’t inherit her fine skill for song and dance, I did become a pretty good cook. But I just can’t seem to bake a good cookie. There I said it. I’m not proud of it, but it’s true — I am no stranger to the botched batch. I just can’t understand it — why can I bake cakes, pies and pastries with ease, but struggle to execute a good cookie? Allow me to explain cookie envy: it’s what I feel at cookie exchange parties when the group describes what they baked to send home with guests and I have little bags of scary-looking, dry hockey

Other holiday musical opportunities

Music is one of the most beautiful aspects of Christmas. The holidays’ musical bounty creates opportunities to broaden musical horizons — either as an appreciative audience member or as a musicmaker. For children who love to sing, the Fort Wayne Children’s Choir could very possibly become like a second family. Now in its 40th season, the FWCC is an afterschool arts program for 251 children ages 8-18 from diverse backgrounds. Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Huntington, Steuben, Wells and Whitley counties are represented. Artistic director Jonathan Busarow joined the FWCC because of his passion for music and his desire to find new ways of sharing music education with all children. Denice Beights, who has been with the choir three years, said she loves working with the choir because “it is making a difference in the lives of our children, as well as the arts scene.� Sometimes children who don’t “fit in� at school find a family with the choir. Beights said a young man, who has been with the choir six years now,

• Holiday Pops. The Fort Wayne Children’s Choir has performed with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic for the last six years on the Embassy stage. • The Nutcracker. This collaborative concert with the Fort Wayne Ballet and the Fort Wayne Philharmonic is annually. The Fort Wayne Children’s Choir provides the voices for the snow scene. • Fort Wayne Children’s Choir Rejoice Concert: Dec. 7 and 8 at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, this annual concert features the younger choirs performing plenty of holiday favorites.

said that at school he was an outcast. “He couldn’t behave, and often was treated poorly by students and teachers because of his behavior,� Beights said. “He didn’t know how to act, how to fit in. However, at choir, he feels like he belongs. “He learned how to express himself, and ultimately, be part of something bigger than himself. He plans to continue through graduation. He doesn’t dream of being a professional musician or music educator, but he can see how the choir has given him the opportunity to create something special, and to be a part of the final fabric.�

FWCC goals include: • fostering the life-long skill of music literacy, • building an understanding of a wide variety of music,

• learning how to work as a group towards the same goal • an appreciation for hard work and discipline. “The results include excellent educational opportunities, wonderful performances and wellrounded people,â€? Beights said. “If your child loves to sing, he or she should be singing with us. We encourage any child who has passion and enthusiasm for singing to be a part of the choir.â€? The choirs are: Preparatory (they do not perform), Apprentice, Lyric, Whitley Regional, Treble, Concert (touring choir), Youth Chorale and Chamber Singers. Twenty-two percent of the members receives financial assistance, so financial barriers should not stop a child from being involved, Beights said. More information is at fwcchoir.org.

Cocktails and shopping are not included and guests are encouraged to enjoy those on their own. For reservations or questions, contact Sharon at 437-7497.

NIPSCO supplies natural gas to customers in most of northeast Indiana. Over the course of the

five-month winter heating season — Nov. 1 to March 31 — NIPSCO said its average residential customer would use a total of 624 therms and could expect to pay approximately $438. That compares to $440 for a customer using the same amount of gas last winter. “Market prices for

natural gas continue to hold at historically low levels, thanks in large part to plentiful domestic resources,� said NIPSCO’s CEO Jim Stanley. “This is great for our customers, especially as we head into the winter heating season, when utility bills typically reach their highest point of the year.�

— from Santa and his elves playing with the water faucet to Santa eating a Penn Station sub and Johnny Tincap playing baseball with the elves. The new displays, and those before them, have been commissioned by area families and businesses to reflect the sponsor. Each takes a few months to design and manufacture. This, Gilmore said, makes a trip through the Fantasy of Lights a unique experience every year. “The majority of our displays are original designs,� Gilmore said. That, she said, is one of the reasons more than 10,000 cars travel through Franke Park

each year. “There’s nothing out there like the Fantasy of Lights.� Gilmore said AWS clients often stop out and help, whether collecting money from cars or wearing a Santa hat and waving at the cars as they enter. In addition to clients, several non-profit and service groups come out to assist the foundation with one of its largest fundraisers each year. “We rely on volunteers to work every night during the display,� Gilmore said. “We are always looking for groups to help this year or people to sponsor displays in 2013.� Any group interested

in assisting with the Fantasy of Lights can call Gilmore at 7446145. Long after the lighted displays are packed away — AWS stores and maintains each one in the offseason — the funds earned in the sixweek span will help the foundation carry out the mission of Anthony Wayne Services — to assist infants, children and adults with intellectual and physical disabilities. The cost to enjoy the AWS Fantasy of Lights is just $5 per car, a cost Gilmore said has stayed constant in recent years.

3CULPTOR AND ILLUSTRATOR $ON *OHNSON HAS MADE NUMEROUS FIGURES TO DEMONSTRATE THE ADVENTURES OF h/SCARv THE ELF IN %MBASSY 4HEATRE S #HRISTMAS WINDOW DISPLAYS AT THE OLD )NDIANA (OTEL picky,’â€? she said. Creating the display is a year-round effort, beginning just after the new year. Once the team of volunteers has settled on a story line, they then sculpt, animate and dress the characters from a workshop. Elements then are installed in the storefront a little bit at a time. “What I do is make sure it will fit into the dimensional confines of the space. I have to work on it (in my shop) before it goes into fine assembly in the window,â€? David said. There are just 14 inches of work space to move around in once the team begins setting up window scenes at the hotel. “We are constantly changing how we do things. It has been a learning process,â€? he said. They have come a long way: In their first year, the husband and wife team used mechanisms from toys to animate window figures. At the time, they didn’t realize once the figures were installed in the display, freezing temperatures would cause their movements to slow down. But Baker, the son of a family friend, came to the rescue in 2009 with pneumatics, or air-powered animatronics, which are unaffected when temperatures plummet. The display also improves each year as Johnson adds more hand-made figures to its cast of characters, which will eventually give the windows a more unified look and feel, Kathy said. And with every story line, the community becomes more familiar with Oscar the elf and his haphazard holiday adventures. This year, a misunderstanding with sleepy Santa Claus will send Oscar the elf on a wild goose chase to find a “whatchamacallit,â€? all the while running into colorful characters along the way. The window’s official reveal is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, during the Night of Lights. David said he hopes what they’re doing will keep a “threadâ€? of tradition going in Fort Wayne, and thinks that with the help of sponsors, the windows could become more spectacular every year. But for the thousands of children who have gazed in awe at those Embassy windows on the Night of Lights, it already is spectacular. Just ask Wesner, who has been to them all ‌ well, almost. “The window displays at the Embassy draw an incredible number of people. I think they do an excellent job,â€? he said. “We’ve taken the grandkids to just about every one, except last year because they may have been sick. “You know, the older you get the more nostalgia means

LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE NOW PAIN FREE FROM NECK AND BACK PAIN, WITHOUT DRUGS OR SURGERY, AFTER USING A NEW ADVANCED TREATMENT... Spinal shots, pills & operations can be a pain in the neck and back. Now there is a new option for those suffering with neck and back pain. We are revolutionizing the treatment of neck and back problems with a combination of Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy with Cold Laser/Active Therapeutic Motion ATMŽ2 (over 600 cases) and a new treatment protocol we call Brain Based Therapy. The combination of these therapies can make all the difference in someone’s success from conditions like: chronic neck and back pain, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, radicular neuralgia (arm, hand or leg pain), sciatica, arthritis and even those who have failed back surgery.

This is why you might do something that you would think should not possibly have caused the level of pain it did. It was your BRAIN protecting you. Brain Based Therapy is a non-drug treatment to improve the brain. To help re-wire it, if you will, so it is not as perceptive to the pain. It’s time for you to find out if Non-Surgical Spinal Decompresion with Cold Laser/Active Therapeutic Motion (ATMŽ2) will be your pain solution. For 10 days only, $47 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $257 for!

Call 260-482-2206 by November 30 anytime between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday to schedule your $47 consultation and exam.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy with Cold Laser/Active Therapeutic Motion ATMŽ2 gets good reviews from the American Journal of Pain Management that reports a positive relief rate Are YOU next? when used on patients with herniated discs, some Our office is called Chalfant Chiropractic Center of the leading causes of neck and back problems. and we are located at 5931 Stoney Creek Drive, across from Batteries Plus and next to But sometimes this amazing treatment isn’t enough Cork ’N Cleaver, Fort Wayne, IN 46825. if you’ve been in pain for a long time. And again, our phone number is 260-482-2206.

WHY??? Once you’ve been in pain for a while your body starts to take defensive measures to protect itself from further injury and pain. The brain starts to learn that an area of your body is weak and injured and takes precautionary measures. An “emergency line� in the nervous system is created so that when there is even an inkling of irritation to this weakened area, your body will start into its protection mode by tightening muscles, telling you that something is wrong by setting off the “PAIN ALARM�.

We have set a high standard in treating spinal related disorders. Our goal is to eliminate pain for our patients and restore quality of life. Our commiment to the treatment of spinal related injuries has lead to the facility combining cutting edge technology with chiropractic care and neurological rehabilitation. Our clinic consists of state-of-the-art equipment, testing and treatment programs for the best patient outcomes.

Where to get tickets • AIDS Task Force • Allen County SPCA • Shawnee show choir • Northwood show choir • Columbia City Swim and Dive • Lindley Elementary School event for $5. The groups keep all of the money for themselves. It is a way for each nonprofit to raise funds while funneling shoppers to Jefferson Pointe. Newman said more than 20 businesses are signed on to participate. Some offer a percentage discount while others — like Chick-fil-A — are offering something free. Newman said some groups, like the Columbia City Swim and Dive team, sold approximately 750 tickets to last year’s event, which netted the team more than $3,500 to purchase new towels, a scoreboard and other equipment. “This is open to any nonprofit looking for a fundraiser. It’s proven to be a great idea,â€? Newman said. Tickets are available for non-profit groups to pick up and sell.

Holiday Magic brought more than 300 people to downtown Monroeville to shop, socialize and have fun. She hopes to increase the number this year. Each person will receive an event card at whichever trolley stop they start with. At each stop, the card can be punched. Cards punched at all stops are eligible to be entered into a drawing for two $25 gift cards. In addition to the trolley stops, Norris said, visitors are encouraged to stop by local businesses during the day, too. Several merchants will offer holiday specials or deals and local restaurants will be open for lunch throughout the event. The evolution of Holiday Magic will continue, Norris said, with the chamber hoping to continue the event for years to come. While it started as a way to get people into downtown, it has turned into a fullfledged community service project, sponsored by the chamber.
